Those clams are pimp.

 

Beautiful, Steve.

 

Love it!!!! But what else to expect from you, Steve!!

 

Thanks all

here is a better FTS taken about 4 weeks ago


you may notice an anthellia encrusted rock in the right 3rd of the image as you view it

yesterday, stripped that 3rd of the tank down (toy boxes emptied to accomodate water and corals)

removed said rock , replaced with a clean rock that had been in my 4ft for about 6 weeks just for this purpose

anthellia gone and hopefully no parameter issues round the corner
the SPS handled the 30 - 40 minute move really well, all are almost in identical locations to where they where prior to the Anthellia rock removal - although I did use the opportunity to re locate a couple of pieces , and even these are open for business as usual today

picture of the new Anthellia free zone to follow

 

here it is , 24 hours after the rock removal and relocation - added new Purigen and Carbon to compensate for any potential issues


new clean rock - with SPS that was on base of tank since Monday acclimatising - so now 1/3rd up - you can aslo see one of my 2 clams and a couple of Frags I made of my Avatar coral a week or so ago relocated 2 x Monti Digi to this lower flow area of tank and as you can see, they are both Polyped up so seem content for now



made 1 slight change to middle area - relocating my scrolling monti behind the SPS - Acro species, which has grown rapidly and also got some great blue coloration and as such I wanted it front and centre

 

taken 20 mins ago - the blue M Digi - looks better today than it did before the move so thats pleasing



and the green one - not 100% show today , but enough to convince me it will adjust and be happy in its new location


the only coral that got damaged in the move was this encrusting Monti, which as you can see, has a thumb sized amount of damage where it was growing over the plug

hopefully now its puttied firmly in a new location, it will make a full recovery

Great looking tank, congrats on the successful changes

 

Everything's looking very healthy. You're doing a fine job!!

 

Steve your tank is really looking great.... Soon you'll have no room with all the sps you have going in there.....

The FTS really looks awesome...
